Former Miss SA Liesl Laurie had a Q&A session on Instagram.

The beauty queen and radio host then revealed that she had a joke about the next time she posts a man on social media would be the day he proposed to her. She went on to explain that Musa then agreed that it was a deal and the day he proposed to her, he told her that he would be posting. Take a look…

“After a previous relationship ended a few years ago. I had a running joke that the next time I post a man on my page will be the day he proposes to me. I mentioned this to Musa when we first starting hanging out and he responded with the words ‘ok it’s a deal then.’ On the day he proposed and I said yes he said ‘I’m posting ne?” she responded.

Before Musa, Liesl was in a public relationship with Idols SA host Tebogo Sidney Thapelo Thekisho, popularly known as Proverb. The pair were in a relationship for three years before calling it quits in 2018.

After Musa and Liesl announced their engagement, many Tweeps brought up Proverb. However, the medical doctor almost instantly stood up for his then-fiancée and asked Tweeps to stop being weird.

Jada Pinkett Smith recalled the time she felt a deep connection with husband Will Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith recalled the time she felt a deep connection with husband Will Smith. The 52 year-old actress opened up about the time she and the Men in Black star attended famed illusionist David Blaine’s performance. Recalling that she became “super emotional” over a magic trick he performed, Jada spoke on the Off Menu podcast: “[Blaine] did something so crazy with Will and I. He touched Will’s shoulder and I felt it but Will didn’t.”

“I cried, it was emotional. Blaine was showing the connection between us and I haven’t been able to get away from Will since showing that connection,” she said.

Will-Smith

Jada did not mention the exact timeline of the event, however, her comment comes after she told Daily Mail that the infamous Oscar slap incident “saved her marriage” with Will. After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened,” she said.

“It was a lot of work, it was a lot of preparation, I had to really investigate what it meant to be a woman in that era. A mother, a Colombian woman… that turned into this monster. So, it was a really difficult task for me to understand,” she shared.

However, the Modern Family alum said that despite the complex nature of the role, she still found a way to turn herself into Griselda by thinking about “the similarities she shares with her.”

“We are both Colombian, we are both immigrants, we are both mothers, we are both women. So I did relate to her a lot,” she said.

Previously, her hairstylist Kelly Kline and makeup artist Todd McIntosh also revealed in an old interview that Sofia’s physical transformation included 5 wigs to depict different timelines.

They created prosthetic eyebrows, a fake nose and false yellowed teeth for her as well. By the time she left her makeup trailer, she was Griselda. And that’s why Sofia is so perfect,” said co-creator Eric Newman.

MacG attacks Mihlali Ndamase, Cyan Boujee and Uncle Waffles

South African media personality MacG — real name MacGuyver Mukhwevo — is one of the biggest podcasters in the country. Last year, his podcast, Podcast and Chill, reached one million subscribers and rakes in hundreds of thousands of views daily. While many love his content and constantly sing his praises — he has a knack for upsetting listeners with some of the things he has to say.

Mihlali Ndamase

This week social media users are dragging him for what he had to say about a few of SA’s favourite female influencers. Over the last few years, popular local podcast, Podcast and Chill, has been leaving viewers highly entertained with jaw dropping episodes.

We’ve seen an array of celebs, politicians and even sex workers on the show and it has certainly made for top tier entertainment. In fact, some celebrities tend to say too much on the show and sometimes even face the wrath of cancel culture.While MacG seems to have the magic recipe for successful entertainment, he doesn’t always get it right.

Uncle Waffles

In fact, a couple of years ago, he left US star Ari Lennox outraged after asking her an “inappropriate” question about her s.e.x life. He has also been slammed as misogynistic and sexist a number of times.

Cyan Boujee

Despite this, he continues to share his often critical thoughts on female stars. This week, he sunk his teeth into influencers Mihlali Ndamase, Cyan Boujee who he says look old.

His harsh comments on these stars left people in the comments section fuming. Many of them dragged his fiancé into the mix.

“Ahh he relies on shock value for numbers, so many things to talk about and he chose that,” one person said while another wrote: MacG is talking trash, Waffles did nothing wrong she can’t explain the genre so what”

Naturally, there were those who agreed with MacG and don’t see anything wrong with what he has to say.

Why must I speak about Zahara when she’s gone – TK Nciza on leaked audio of late singer

TS Records boss Thembinkosi ‘TK’ Nciza has responded to a leaked audio recording that was circulated on social media of the late award-winning South African singer and songwriter Zahara – real name Bulelwa Mkutukana basically bashing him and DJ Sbu, The Citizen reported.

The beloved late singer died at Olievedale Netcare Hospital in Johannesburg on Monday, 11 December 2023, a family statement revealed. Zahara was said to have been “surrounded by family and loved ones” when she passed away. She was laid to rest in her hometown on Saturday, 23 December 2023.

Immediately after her family announced her death, Sbusiso Leope popularly known as DJ Sbu and TK Nciza were dragged by the public. The duo was accused of having taken advantage of the late singer before her death by underpaying her. In the audio clip that was leaked on social media, the late 36-year-old singer can be heard speaking poorly of her former bosses while on a call with an unknown man.

TK Nciza

Speaking to The Citizen recently, Nciza distanced himself from the leaked audio and was quoted as saying: “I mean really, this is none of my concern. That chapter is closed for me, I can’t respond to a faceless person. I don’t want to worry about something I don’t know, it’s a malicious thing.

Zahara’s sister Bandezwa Mkutukana shared that the late Afro-pop star had signed with another record label before she died. The Loliwe hitmaker often spoke about her financial problems and contract issues with TS Records, the record company behind her fame.
